Used And Vintage Electric Guitars
We have this exquisite D'Angelico EXL-1, which is an homage to master-builder John D’Angelico’s original archtop design.  Everytime one lands here, we are thoroughly impressed with the the tone, comfortable neck and overall quality.  The EXL-1 is a top notch guitar and quite a value at this price, especially the case that's included.
 
Its floating pickup design produces vibrant resonance, easily handling both rich, smoky comp chords and intricate lead lines. The EXL-1 exudes elegance, with a laminated spruce top, maple back, and signature stairstep tailpiece, pickguard and tuners. Capturing the spirit of its mid-century counterpart, it is unmatched in quality, playability and style, all offered at an attractive price. The EXL-1 humbly accepts the title given to it by so many jazz players: their “dream guitar.”
 
John D’Angelico’s original archtop design is legend, and the EXL-1 is its modern-day counterpart. True to the original in every detail, the EXL-1 features a USA-made Seymour Duncan Johnny Smith Floating Mini-Humbucker to maximize the acoustic tone of its commanding 17-inch-wide, 3-inch-deep body. Art Deco-inspired details frame the EXL-1—with a scroll-style neck bevel, mother-of-pearl inlays on an ebony bridge, and split-block inlays on a pau ferro fingerboard.
 
This fine instrument is good condition, and comes with an original hardshell case.  It's been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop.  It's a serious score.
